about

Trad. 17th Century Scottish/Irish

Of all the money that e'er I had
I spent it in good company
And of all the harm that e'er I've done
Alas it was to none but me
And all I've done for want of wit
To my memory now I can't recall
So fill to me your parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all

Of all the comrades that e'er I had
They are sorry now for my going away
And of all the sweethearts that e'er I’ve had
They would wish me one more day to stay
But since it falls unto my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be with you all

A man may drink and not be drunk
A man may fight and not be slain
A man may court a pretty girl
And perhaps be welcomed home again
But since it has so ordered been
A time to rise and a time to fall
Fill to me your parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all
So good night and joy be with you all

about

Mahasukha Brighton, UK

"Today like every other day we wake up empty and frightened.
Don't open the door to the study and begin reading. Take down a musical instrument.
Let the beauty we love be what we do. There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground." Rumi
